Manicures that look like you’ve dipped your hands in a saucer of milk are trending! Yes, milky nails are the newest trend to hit the winter 2020 beauty scene and are every minimalists’ dream. Also, sometimes you just want to rock a chic shape or length, without a vibrant colour taking all the attention. It might not seem like it, but milky manicures can be customised in many different ways. It even adapts to glitter pretty well. Here are some trendy ways you can wear milky nails this winter...

Milky manicures don’t always have to be clear or white — you can also include flavoured milk tints to them. And the drink of choice for the season is cute and blushed, strawberry milk — a colour you can pair with just about all of your winter separates!
